John Holmes – 1970’s Big Penis Porn Star Legend

Born in 1944 in Ashville, Ohio, USA, John Curtis Estes AKA John Holmes, the youngest of four children, was one day destined to become one of the biggest names in the adult blue movie industry.

During the “Golden Age” of pornography, John C. Holmes was the guy that you’d see in hundreds of adult films credited under dozens of names and pleasuring multitudes of women on camera. According to legend, John Holmes measured his penis one day and discovered with amazement that it was a whopping ten inches in length. Legend or not, Holmes had a penis large enough for people to remember him.

Although many claims by the adult entertainment industry suggested he was generously endowed with 12 inches, the actual length was closer to 9 inches. The reason his penis looked much bigger, was due to his impressive girth which measured close to 7 inches.

There’s no denying that mother nature blessed this man with more than generous proportions, which only made his rise to the top that much easier.

John C. Holmes’ life was not as rosy as many may think a porn star’s life is. As a child, Holmes grew up in low-income, abusive and neglectful households, only knowing the name of his biological father.

At age 16, John ran away from home and joined the US Army, serving for 3 years. After his honorable discharge, John worked a string of odd jobs while living in California in the years following to make money to live off. He met and married his first wife Sharon while working as an ambulance driver.

The exact details surrounding John’s foray into porn are not known and there are contradictory stories. His infamous penis measurement tale took place in 1968, though he appears uncredited in porn reels of the mid-1960’s. By the start of the 70’s, John’s career skyrocketed with his portrayal of private investigator “Johnny Wadd,” becoming a box-office success in many adult films throughout the decade.

Some of his best known performances were in Swedish Erotica, Aunt Peg, Sweet Punkin, Fantasm, John Holmes and the All Star Sex Queens. He was also fortunate to work alongside some of the best known men and women in the porn industry back then. With big names like Candy Samples (the buxom blonde bombshell), Uschi Digard, Rene Bond and a true legend of porn himself Ron Jeremy to name just a few.

John’s career took a turn for the worst with a cocaine addiction and charges of criminal activity including theft. John became involved in a murder trial surrounding a drug-dealing gang, but the charges against him were dropped. After 100 days in prison for “contempt of court” and his release in 1982, he continued to work in the adult film industry with his clout as a porn legend with the large well endowed penis.

Unfortunately for John, he tested positive for HIV in 1986 and died of AIDS-related complications in 1988, possibly as a result of the lack of regulations surrounding STDs in the porn industry. In spite of the tumultuous events in his life, John C. Holmes is remembered to this day as the star with the legendary big penis from the “Golden Age of Porn”.
